Given the nature of fencing, I think it will be one wide radial, two
sections would be better, but it will present a reflective field, and help a
lot.
Don't get hung up in the theory.
Lay it down, connect it, cover it with earth, and enjoy!!!
If you have good ground conductivity, it will work.
If you have the ground conductivity we have here, nothing you do will help
much.

Subject: Expanding my radial field

Hi all:

I mentioned last week that I was gonna get a 66 foot length of metal zhain
link fencing from a 500 foot roll that my brother gave to Dad.
When laying down this piece, call it 48 inches wide x 66 feet long, can I
attach 4 or 5 wires to this and the other ends to my radial plate and this
will be treated like 48 more radials, not including the cross pieces or will
I have to attach each point on the fence to the plate. I'm also considering
using 2 pieces and placing my antenna between the 2 connecting them to the
plate using 6 short wire connections on each.
